Thanks, but hardly professional. I'm just a marketing guy being guided by experienced engineers.

Yes, it is my wife's daily. We've been wanting something to take to the mountain trails or blaze through the desert. Almost picked up a squarebody C10 to build but then the air bags crapped out. She's an offroad girl through and through having grown up in Colorado. I'm more of a lowered, BIG HP kinda guy so this whole thing will be an experience.

You have me wanting to pre runner my Yukon now.

Glad I could motivate. You may want to unsubscribe though if you're even remotely on the fence. At this rate things might spiral out of control.

My wife is the same way she likes the lifted more rubber compared to the slammed and fast! We just sold her fj cruiser with 3in lift and 33's and she thought my sierra was going to be to big so she was driving my denali. It's slammed 5/7 with 22s she hated it because you have to watch the road and be worried about holes and curbs. Now after driving my sierra she loves it!
Keep up the good work! I'm definitely staying on top of this build to see how it turns out!

It's a catch 22. She gets used to driving with little care of small bumps, dips, cracks in the road, curbs etc. Then gets behind the wheel of my Buick which has 30 series tires(from the factory mind you) and suddenly chaos ensues.

So the company I work for recently did some suspension work for a SEMA project for Toyo. I used that connection to get some new kicks. I'm still trying to work on American Racing Wheels which we also have a hook up on. I like the wheels currently on the truck but I need a set with less backspace.

A little teaser of what's to come for the front. We use Chromoly material to build spindle pins for our front ends. I'll be using this material for some custom uniball mounts.

Gonna be pretty meaty lookin' on your truck!

Nice those should look great! I love my toyos I have the 35x12.5 18 mt. They have lasted the longest of any Mt I have ever bought.

Been busy with work the last few weeks so I haven't made much if/any progress. After working LS Fest West this past weekend and shooting some of the #DirtAlliance jump sessions I am beyond motivated to get this truck project going again.

Definitely going to be watching this! I have a lifted denali, but definitely not long travel. Im going to have to tidy up a lot.

Finally got to use this chromoly tubing I bought months ago. I borrowed the tube bender and notcher from work and actually made some progress.
